<title>Description</title>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_call()</function> takes a complete bus message object and calls the
|
|
corresponding D-Bus method. On success, the response is stored in <parameter>reply</parameter>.
|
|
<parameter>usec</parameter> indicates the timeout in microseconds. If
|
|
<parameter>ret_error</parameter> is not <constant>NULL</constant> and
|
|
<function>sd_bus_call()</function> fails (either because of an internal error or because it
|
|
received a D-Bus error reply), <parameter>ret_error</parameter> is initialized to an instance of
|
|
<structname>sd_bus_error</structname> describing the error.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><function>sd_bus_call_async()</function> is like <function>sd_bus_call()</function> but
|
|
works asynchronously. The <parameter>callback</parameter> indicates the function to call when
|
|
the response arrives. The <parameter>userdata</parameter> pointer will be passed to the callback
|
|
function, and may be chosen freely by the caller. If <parameter>slot</parameter> is not
|
|
<constant>NULL</constant> and <function>sd_bus_call_async()</function> succeeds,
|
|
<parameter>slot</parameter> is set to a slot object which can be used to cancel the method call
|
|
at a later time using
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_unref</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
|
|
If <parameter>slot</parameter> is <constant>NULL</constant>, the lifetime of the method call is
|
|
bound to the lifetime of the bus object itself, and it cannot be cancelled independently. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_slot_set_floating</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
for details. <parameter>callback</parameter> is called when a reply arrives with the reply,
|
|
<parameter>userdata</parameter> and an <structname>sd_bus_error</structname> output
|
|
parameter as its arguments. Unlike <function>sd_bus_call()</function>, the
|
|
<structname>sd_bus_error</structname> output parameter passed to the callback will be empty. To
|
|
determine whether the method call succeeded, use
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_message_is_method_error</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
on the reply message passed to the callback instead. If the callback returns zero and the
|
|
<structname>sd_bus_error</structname> output parameter is still empty when the callback
|
|
inishes, other handlers registered with functions such as
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_filter</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry> or
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_add_match</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
are given a chance to process the message. If the callback returns a non-zero value or the
|
|
<structname>sd_bus_error</structname> output parameter is not empty when the callback finishes,
|
|
no further processing of the message is done. Generally, you want to return zero from the
|
|
callback to give other registered handlers a chance to process the reply as well.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If <parameter>usec</parameter> is zero, the default D-Bus method call timeout is used. See
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>sd_bus_get_method_call_timeout</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
